For anyone that is looking for a vacation, traveling through the South or just needing some restful get away time you have found a location. This visit has checked off multiple items from our bucket list. The very best from Carl and Deb.

We love people and Hedy has the gift of hospitality! At times Hedy may offer breakfast if it fits her schedule!

I stayed only one night to attend an evening class at the nearby hospital. I was there for less than 8 hours. But, the room was clean and comfortable and definitely a great value.

Hedy is a very friendly and lovely host. She and her family made me feel comfortable. I completely loved my stay.

Possibly the best form of hospitality I've ever been subjected to. Hedy and her husband accommodated to everything I needed. all was in a convenient driving distance. all was as described. will stay again in the future!

KobieJuly 2016

I felt very welcome. I was shown around, shown where extra things I might need were. It was wonderful. There was a comfortable chair to sit in, in my room. When I was not asleep. The house is super quiet. Super clean. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. I hope someday to return. Kindness and caring, making me feel very welcome. Safe. so safe. This is a big thing to me. It was very safe.

LizJuly 2016

Wonderful, welcoming. Very helpful. House was spotlessly clean, bed was super comfortable. It was very quiet. Bathroom, right across from bedroom, so very easy access. Nice comfortable chair in bedroom. Information, available in room, for local information. Felt like you were part of the family. Again the house, was super clean.

Hedy and Ron were waiting for me and cordially invited me to their home. The room matched the description. Small adjustments I requested were immediately taken care of. Overall was very pleasant stay.

The Folk Duncan house was built in 1861 in the historic district of Smithfield. Restaurants and shopping or just a short walk away. Located in the backyard is Windsor Castle Park with hiking trails, Fishing Pier and kayak rentals for your enjoyment.

This is my home and I love guests!
Some kitchen privileges.
If you need me I am here. My 4 dogs and Romeo are friendly furbabies who abide by the same guidelines.

Location...Across the street is a Marina, restaurant, up the hill is our museum, shops, historic Courthouse and beautiful houses. Behind the house is a beautiful park.
Everything is in walking distance.
No Smoking.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Vicky's while in town for a wedding. Her place was very nice and conveniently located to everything in town. We brought our dog with us and it was so nice being by the park to walk her. Vicky was easily reachable for any questions we had and was very welcoming.

NicoleOctober 2016

Upon arrival Ms. Vicky was waiting with her arms wide open. Made me feel right at home. After giving me a tour of the house she informed me of all of the local history, which really interests me. After she offered me a sweet tea I knew I was home. The house is very beautiful in a awesome location right off the river. It will be bittersweet the day I have to head home.

MauricioOctober 2016

Vicky is amazing host! She went above and beyond. I only wish that we could have enjoyed her hospitality more. The first day we missed out on fresh fruit and she even asked if she needed to change it up. No, it was just our loss. We were constantly coming and going with our hectic schedule. She was informative and helpful with everything. We were there for a wedding during Hurricane Matthew, she volunteered her amazing backyard to help out. I don't have enough words to describe how nice it was to stay here and not at a hotel where it would have felt impersonal. I would recommend her very much.

You’ll love my place because of the light, the comfy bed, about 1 hour to Virginia Beach, swimming pool, shared access to full kitchen, plenty of closet and drawer space, fast wireless internet.. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids).

We felt very welcomed here and Steve and Trena were very accomadating and went above and beyond expectations. Everything was amazing, and looked even better than described. We highly recommend a stay with these gracious host.

The Hills are amazing hosts! We were on a road trip, and arrived later than expected. They were patient and flexible with our arrival and departure time, and welcomed us into their house. The house is absolutely beautiful, and it was immaculate! Had a great conversation with Steve in the morning, received suggestions on places to visit, and ensured that our stay was stress free and comfortable!

Why pay more for a hotel room when you could stay in your own studio apartment. New construction 2015. Full size bed(memory foam), 3/4 bath, and small kitchen. Separate entrance to apartment. Walking distance to Smithfield Inn, Smithfield Center, and Windsor Castle.

New construction. Hardwood floors. Completely furnished with dining table, chairs, and desk. Memory foam mattress, Wi-fi, and Keurig Coffee machine for your use.
Entire Studio Apartment. Separate entrance. Shared backyard. After booking the apartment will be open and ready for your arrival. Parking is available on the property directly in front of the apartment.
Let me know how I can help improve your visit to Smithfield.

Apartment is located in Historic Smithfield. http://www.genuinesmithfieldva.com/. One block to Smithfield Inn, http://www.smithfieldinn.com/, and Wharf Hill Brewing, http://wharfhillbrewing.com/, and a quarter mile walk to Smithfield Station, http://www.smithfieldstation.com/. Windsor Castle Park, http://www.windsorcastlepark.com/, is also one block away allowing access to miles of jogging and biking trails. Perfect for walking to Smithfield festivals or a date night. We are also four block away from the Smithfield Center, http://www.smithfieldcenter.com/, easy walk for wedding receptions, etc.
Walking distance to many restaurants and Smithfield events. 30 minute drive to Newport News/Hampton, 45 minutes to Norfolk, 1 hour from Virginia Beach and Williamsburg. 40 minutes from PHF airport and 50 minutes from ORF airport. 2 hour drive to the Outer Banks, NC.
During the Spring through Fall there is a farmers market directly behind our property from 9-12 am. http://www.smithfieldfarmersmarket.org/

The apartment is even better than pictured. There was coffee and tea waiting by the Keurig with cream and sugar, which was really nice since most places just provide the coffee itself. The memory foam mattress was perfect for sitting in bed and watching Netflix at night. The bathroom was gorgeous, just like the entire apartment, which was decorated and kept up very well. There was even an artist's easel, which was super convenient for a painter like me, who would really enjoy painting and looking out over the beautiful historic Smithfield. There were plenty of lovely dishes, towels, and anything else we needed. This apartment is above the host's garage in his backyard, but it is fenced in and it felt more private than you would think. My only complaint is that there was no microwave, but my boyfriend figured out the hotplate and it was just as useful. We will definitely be returning. Best little getaway ever!

KelseyMarch 2016

We had a great time staying here after the Bacon and Bourbon Festival. We were able to walk to and from Windsor Castle Park for the festival, and down to Wharf Hill Brewing Company for dinner. Justin made it very easy for us to access the apartment, and he even left some empty growlers for us to bring with us to the festival. I would recommend this apartment to anyone looking to visit Smithfield!

DanielleOctober 2016

I've stayed at places that are occasionally rented (but someone lives there too) and places that are rented full-time on AirBNB. This is the latter -- and it's way better because the space is uncluttered and ready for you. Justin's coach house apartment is perfect for a couple or small family. There is only one bed but also a couch and air mattress. Very clean and very modern (much more than I would've expected) and he even had a full set of toiletries available (toothbrushes, etc.). Very nice host and perfect location in Smithfield (which is very tiny).

MasonJuly 2016

We were in Smithfield for a wedding at the Smithfield Community Center and Justin's apartment was within walking distance of the event. The space is very clean and organized- way better than a hotel room. I would absolutely stay there again.

MalloryOctober 2016

The studio apartment was beautiful! It was cozy, refreshing, and pleasant. The great selection of DVDs and books, access to everything on the Roku, and tea and coffee available made our stay more delightful than anticipated. Justin was also very helpful in recommending restaurants and places to see while in the quaint town of Smithfield. Lastly, the farmers market was right next door (you could see it from the window), making it a great start to our day! Overall, Justin's apartment was the perfect place to stay for a much needed restful and peaceful weekend getaway.

JulietaJune 2016

Charming studio in the heart of downtown Smithfield. This studio apartment is beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean and comfortable. You can tell that the hosts invested in quality furnishings and decorations, and we appreciated all of the attention to detail (like Mrs. Meyer's hand soap, a Keurig, and good quality towels). Justin made a huge effort to make finding his place as easy as possible, notifying us that a festival had shut down his street and personally guiding us to an alternate parking area. The location is unbeatable - easy walking distance to shopping, an ice cream parlor, and Wharf Hill Brewing Co. We would definitely stay here again!

KarenJune 2016

We stayed at Justin's just one night while we were in town for a wedding! The studio is immaculate and cozy. We cannot wait to come back and spend another night or two and explore downtown Smithfield which is just steps away from their door!

KellyMay 2016

This place is great. The apartment is brand new, above the garage behind a charming 19th century house. It is nicely furnished and well supplied with Keurig coffee, peanuts, bottled water and things you may need in the bathroom. They've done I great job setting this place up and I'm the lucky first guest. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone. You certainly get a lot for your money here.

With choices almost nonexistent in Gates County we were happy to find this place. We were looking for something clean, spacious and private. This provided all of that.

Joseph & MitchellApril 2016

This is an absolutely beautiful house in the countryside that I can highly recommend. Denise was accommodating, providing extra linens as requested and check-in was a clear and simple process. The banana bread was such a lovely treat...I wish I had some to eat right now! We would stay here any time we are passing through the area. Stop reading reviews and book it!

JacklynJuly 2016

Such a nice place to stay at! Very nice home and property inside and outside, my friends and I enjoyed it very much. Denise and her husband were also very welcoming when they checked us in and made us feel very comfortable. The banana bread was great, thank you!

JaeJune 2015

2nd time staying at the BC Guest House, and another great experience. Denise had some amazing banana nut bread waiting for me, and the house was in immaculate condition once again. I look forward to my next stay at the Guest House and highly recommend this gem to anyone in the Gatesville area!

RyanDecember 2015

Denise has wonderful communication skills...she made us feel at home over the phone! Even though we were a little late getting into the guest house, the hostess accommodated us with no problem. Super friendly and warm welcome...loved the banana bread! Also, the house was beautiful, clean, and spacious.

AmandaJuly 2015

Our stay was very short but very relaxing and great in a beautifully renovated house. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable, well equipped with towels, toiletries. Jack was so help full in giving us the directions to the nearby stores and also to get to I-95 due to poor signal of my GPS. They welcomed us warmly with North Carolina hospitality and warm banana bread!

AreshJuly 2015

We were in the area for my husband's work, and after an exhausting week we had a few days left for vacation. Denise graciously accommodated us on a last-minute booking and the guest house was beyond perfect for our family of four. We couldn't have asked for a better first time Airbnb experience! Clean, welcoming, comfortable. I wanted to move in permanently! I sincerely hope we can stay longer at some point.

JeannieAugust 2015

The accommodations were great. Extraordinarily clean throughout the entire house. And Denise makes a delicious banana bread. Her house is a must stay for anyone in the area. Thank you!

Find tranquility, embrace peace, and make memories with family and friends as you partake in the beauty of nature all around you.
A great escape from the city as this lake front estate is just a short drive from Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, Norfolk, Suffolk, New Port News, Portsmouth, and Chesapeake. 3 bed rooms and 4 baths. 3000+ sqft. living space and over 3000 sqft of surrounding deck w/gazebo.
Enjoy the seen of "heavenly body" and gaze the stars without the city lights.

Peaceful. Excluded, natural trees around the lake. Wokining up in a morning and overlooking Lake Prince's natural undeveloped surrounding would be an appreciation of a break from the "fast lane"or the era of "the rat race".

The Beaton-Powell House (1857), a two-story plantation house bearing classic Greek Revival characteristics, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The available guest room is still decorated in wallpaper selected in the 1920's. It includes a full private bath, and many amenities.

The available guest room was Frances Powell’s bedroom. The spacious front room is still decorated in wall paper that Frances selected in the 1920’s. In the summer, it overlooks a sea of pink crepe myrtles that were transplanted from the nearby Powell farm to the side lawn in the 1940’s. The room has its own heating/air conditioning unit, mini-refrigerator, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, toaster oven, table and chairs. The room contains a Stearns and Foster queen-sized bed with fresh linens, a comfortable twin bed, a cozy reading chair and an antique desk. The full private bath attached to the room features the house’s original cast iron pedestal tub and a separate shower. Also included in the guest room is a television (17 channels and Netflix) and wireless internet access. The room still boasts the old wide (restrung) blinds installed by the Powells; these do not necessarily block out all light that pours into this south-facing room on a sunny morning. The guest room does not feature its own separate entrance, but is accessed by ascending the grand staircase in the large front hall.
The Beaton-Powell House is minutes away from the sites of the Nat Turner Rebellion (although the house was not built until some 26 years after the Rebellion). Boykins’ small business district, including a café, gift shop, antique store, bank, and a post office, are all just steps away. Southampton County, however, is still a quiet, agriculturally-based area (growing peanuts, cotton, soybeans, and corn). Cities and attractions such as Richmond, Virginia Beach, and Williamsburg are all about 1 ½ hours away, each place a wonderful destination for an easy day trip. Petersburg and Petersburg National Battlefield (i.e., the Crater) are about an hour away. Historic Murfreesboro, NC, and its Chowan University are 15 minutes away. While Boykins' one café opens sporadically, there is an assortment of great, independently owned restaurants with regular hours in Murfreesboro. These restaurant options include steaks and seafood, classic southern home cooking, American, and Italian; there is a map of Murfreesboro restaurants in the guest room.
My home is also home to three cats and a dog. This is not the destination for you if you have an allergy to pets or fragrances. You are welcome to bring a dog if he or she gets along with cats and other dogs, but the dog may not be left alone in the guest room when you leave the house. No smoking is allowed in the house or on the property. Off-road parking (for one vehicle) is included. Guests may make use of the washer and dryer, but these are shared, and so guests are not assured exclusive access to these appliances.
I am in and out of the house, and I always have thoughts about day-trip destinations! There are also a variety of travel brochures for various day trips on the desk in the guest room.

Despite what your GPS may tell you, if you are traveling south via I-95S, take Virginia Exit 41-Courtland. This will put you on Route 35 South, the historic and scenic Plank Road. Route 35 South runs right past our house. It is a much longer trip if you travel to Emporia as some GPS's suggest. If you are traveling north via I-95 N, take North Carolina Exit 176. Travel east on NC Highway 46 toward Garysburg, NC, until you reach US-301. Take a left on 301 and an immediate right onto NC-186, which will take you all the way into Boykins, VA. Turn left in Boykins onto Route 35 North (Main Street), and our house will be the third one on the left.
Please be careful of speed limits in our town and surrounding small towns. It is way too easy to get a speeding ticket, a huge disappointment and source of distress to a vacationing spirit!

Once again I can not say enough about my stay!!! By far the best AIRBNB experience so far. I miss Ellie already!!!!!

sheilaMay 2016

My experience at the Beaton-Powell House was fantastic! Lisa was so accommodating, we truly felt like family. This was by far the best b&b experience I have ever had. We will be returning next year for a longer stay. A 5 star rating is not a high enough rating for the Beaton-Powell House experience.

ShayJuly 2016

Great stay with awesome communication!

MattJuly 2015

Everything about my stay was lovely! Lisa left a note on the entrance door greeting me by name, I received a warm welcome, and found the beautiful spacious historical room had absolutely everything a traveler could possibly need (she thought of everything, from Q-tips to new toothbrushes, along with wine and snacks for the evening and breakfast. The bed was super comfortable and the linens were lovely. Absolutely beautiful historic home - a once-in-a-lifetime kind of sleepover! Fabulous!

CalleAugust 2016

Lisa was extremely accommodating especially since we asked for a reservation about 3 hours prior to arrival. We had a beautiful ride on route 35, Off the beaten path but well worth it. She was waiting by the window as we pulled up to this gorgeous 1900 century home with glorious colorful crepe mertyl and a welcome sign on the door (in case) she didn't see us. We felt immediately welcomed. Lisa greeted us warmly and so did her lovely pup Ellie. She gave us a quick tour and explained a little of the history as we were shown our specious room and adjoining bath. The home smelled fresh and clean considering its age and its history She had supplied additional toiletries if needed along with healthy treats and various drinks to our delight. A peaceful, clean retreat and a lovely "laid back in time" town. We would truly return should we have a chance. Lisa was amazing friendly, and kind. Lisa Thank you so much!!!!

Christine July 2015

We arrived late at night for our one night stay with our two crazy dogs and Lisa was very lovely and hospitable! The house is a pleasure to poke around- cool old details, wallpaper, decorations etc. and all is clean, welcoming, and comfy. Boykins is a sweet old fashioned teeny town, too.

MollyJanuary 2016

Lisa is a very nice hostess. the town is very quirt, the house is old but comfortable, the dog and cats are very lovely and friendly. Lisa provide much snacks for us. A good restaurant named Hungry Rooster is just 200 ft on the opposite street. my 10 years old daughter was very happy to stay there, with the pets.

YanhongJuly 2015

Lisa's home was (URL HIDDEN) was beautifully decorated and she was a gracious and helpful host - even when the door locked defeated me! She was sweet enough to even share some yummy pumpkin bread for breakfast. The room had amenities to spare. My only regret was not taking a long bath in the beautiful old tub!

The neighborhood is upscale and in a Golf course community.
This place is Very Easy to find and has all that you need in the event you forget something for your event at the last minute.
This is a Awesome space for quaint parties.

My place is close to Norfolk Naval Shipyard / Huntington Ingalls Shipyard, restaurants and dining, art and culture. You’ll love my place because of the location. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I enjoyed staying with Diana and Jose. They were very accommodating - they let me park in their driveway, they've set up a Keurig in the bedroom with coffee and breakfast bars, and the bathroom had various amenities. They were very pleasant to chat with as well. The house is lovely and located in a friendly, safe neighborhood. I would definitely stay there again if I return to Norfolk!

Diane and Josè! Really went out of their way to make sure that we have a comfy and pleasent stay. They're both really nice and easy to get along on which made the trip, really outstanding and more enjoyable then anticipated. They laid the room out beautifully, and even had netflixs, which was at our disposal, unfortunately the weather wasn't great during our stay but fortunately netflixs provided constant entertainment! Would stay again and definitely recommend to friends.

Had a great experience at Dianna's. Nicest room and most comfortable bed I've ever seen. You could pay four times as much for a hotel room and still wouldn't be as comfortable as I was there. I had a great night's sleep and felt refreshed for my long workday ahead. The coffee in the room was nice, too.

Special price for weekly/monthly stays does not include breakfasts.

The place used to be the original residence for the working teachers of the area.
It is a National Historical Registered Building.
Free WiFi
Free Parking for up to 2 cars.

We are always available for emergencies and recommendations.

Quiet country side area in an easy access route to the Hampton Roads and Outer Banks.
Walk to grocery, bank, bakery and coffee, art gallery, antiques, convenience store (until 10pm), fresh produce stand.
The Public Bus "Gits" is available, but you need to call them 24 hs. in advance to organize your trips.
Great Bakery steps from the home and a nice art Gallery just opened to check out local artists.

Brenda and her husband are an incredibly cool, warm and welcoming young couple. I had a very relaxing stay in this quiet remote country house. It's a bit more remote and rustic than I realized, without much in the vicinity, but I loved it. There is a Family Dollar very close by where you can get most of what you need -- unless you're looking for fresh ingredients, which does require 30-40 minutes of driving. Virginia Beach is an hour away and awesome. There's also Millpond State Park about 15 minutes away, which has a gorgeous lagoon with cheap canoe rentals, and it's an awesome experience I highly recommend. I ended up in a different room because I need an air conditioner to sleep (during the summer months that constituted my stay), and even though this was my own oversight Brenda graciously switched me to a room with an AC without a second thought. Cute cats are a bonus for me, and Flipa the little black and orange kitty is really cute. She was afraid of me so I didn't get to do much petting, but I still liked seeing her :) All in all, highly recommended!

HillelSeptember 2016

Brenda and Graham are great hosts and wonderful people! They made me feel welcome and safe during my stay at the teacherage. The bedroom is large and perfect for a short to long-term stay, since you are also able to use the kitchen and bathroom.

JennaDecember 2014

[To Busy (Spelling Bee) Brenda and (Grammar) Graham ( - two great hosts) and of course your wonderful guests to come] Experiencing the Teacherage from my perspective is more of a conservatory-historical-adoption more than a traveling experience at heart! A thoroughly magnificent and historically rich project on rich land, it is embedded between two NC treasures: the Merchant Millpond State Park and the Great Dismal Swamp National Park (Further discussion on this can be found a few sentences down). It is NEAR 3 hrs. drive from UNC, Chapel Hill, NC where the famous Archibald Wright "Moonlight" Graham, the baseball player went to college in the early 1900s. This was around the same time the story of the Teacherage property and the Academic building [closest to the single room I stayed in] next door began. In a building about 1000 sqft., it was a place where only a small group of students were educated in Agriculture (Ref. the story of the Merchant Millpond for more insight). Archie Graham's father Alexander was a supreme advocate of the school system's in Fayetteville, NC. As we think about the advocacy of great projects, we can see why fighting to preserve and protect national history is so notably consequential (Such passion could be seen in the eyes of the dream of this couple as they shared their rich story after greeting me on the front porch). Like archaeologists contribution to mankind seen through museums, great exhibits and scientific discoveries, we understand that several people have been known throughout history to contribute to just as important conservational projects. In my opinion, if you have the pleasure of experiencing a place like this, and meeting such a nice couple [w/ such a RICH cultural heritage] you will better understand their value! (They are humble, amazing, warm and well-spoken people. Thank you!) Here’s a funny traveling excerpt. You may think you've passed it because the road's journey continues...[The joys of driving on uncharted rural country gives you a dream and wish to discover...]When you see US Hwy 32, you are shortly there by going NORTH.

Enjoy the privacy of the RV, sleeps 5-6. Sixty minutes from Virginia Beach. Either relax or you can help with farm chores. Horses are fed 6:00 am, noon and 6:00 pm.
We also operate a horse drawn carriage service where you can reserve a romantic ride.

Country setting, but we are close enough for day trips to Virginia Beach, Colonial Williamsburg, and Theme Parks.
As a guest at our farm, you are welcome to join in on the feeding and general care of our animals. There are riding or driving lessons and also we offer equestrian vaulting lessons.
It is your choice in the amount of interaction. Just let us know and we will immerse you in farm life :-)

We are about 1 mile from the village of Holland in the city of Suffolk. Our small town has one restaurant, Dollar General, hardware store and a local automotive repair shop. Our area produces peanuts, corn, soybeans, cotton and wheat. We grow organic hay on our farm.
There are several restaurants 15 minutes drive:
Georges Steak House
Al Fornos Italian
Joe's Pizzia
Casa Doras
Santa Fe Grill
Your feet are the only public transportation :-)

If you enjoy country living and camping this is the place for you. It was peaceful and the RV was comfortable as well. We will stay there again if we are in the area. Cindy was very welcoming we appreciated her hospitality and the information she provided about the area. We would definitely recommend the place to friends and family. Thanks Cindy!

We had a lovely stay at the RV on the farm. Cindy and her family were very sweet and helpful. The RV was clean and quite comfortable. Stocked with drinks and snacks. We will come back sometime!

MarcyMay 2016

We enjoyed the unique experience staying at RV in a farmland. Three of my children liked to meet horses and a cat.

DanielAugust 2016

Cindy is very helpful, friendly and she was patient with my questions. The RV is really comfortable. The location is great, close to the charming town of Suffolk and Norfolk. Great for relaxing at the farm. Thanks for the cake!

PatricioAugust 2015

The family was very nice. Our daughter helped with horse chores. They were so patient with her and explained lots of things to her. Accommodations were good and clean. They left us cookies and supplies of we needed them. There were also enough towels for our family of five.

RyanJuly 2016

Staying in an RV on a beautiful piece of land was unique and unforgettable. I especially loved sitting in the breakfast nook eating dinner and looking out at Bob & Fancy, 2 of their 9 horses, munching grass. The RV was very spacious with all I needed. I especially loved meeting Cindy's beautiful redheaded daughter Lucy and so much appreciated her helpfulness. I can't leave out their "doodle-doodle" Jake who was quite a sight jumping over and playing with my Westie (thank u again for allowing me to bring him). I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

suzanneOctober 2016

Cindy and her family are super nice! We loved the rv and how remote and quiet it was. Our 5 and 6 year old had an amazing time playing with bugs and mud and feeding the horses and doves! We would definitely stay there again.

Carolina August 2016

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Cindy on her beautiful farm. My kids were thrilled to meet the horses and Cindy was a wonderful host. She was so nice to accommodate our late arrival and provided a great recommendation for a local museum.

You & your party (up to 3) will be the only occupants upstairs in the TWO bedroom, 1 bath space in this beautiful, clean, comfortable home in a retreat like setting. You will have access to the kitchen (including breakfast items), living room, & screened in back porch with view of busy wildlife on the lake. Close to historic Smithfield, you are minutes to almost everything from Williamsburg to the VA Beach oceanfront. Restaurants are nearby. Parking is easy and free.

This listing is for TWO BEDROOMS and a private bath, and will accommodate up to three adults in YOUR party. No one outside you or your group will be sharing the rooms, which are located upstairs.
The first bedroom has pillow top twin beds. The second bedroom has a comfortable twin size day bed (for an optional third person in your party OR if two people want to sleep in separate rooms), and a desk area and chair for working on your computer. A recliner in this room is great for snuggling up with a good book. A full bathroom is located between the two bedrooms. There are no other rooms on this floor, so the entire upstairs is for your use.
Wireless Internet access is available. A TV in the room with twin beds allows you to select movies and TV shows from Netflix or Amazon. If you want to watch cable TV, you may have the living room solely for your own use.
The refrigerator, stove, microwave, toaster, and Keurig coffee maker (stocked with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate pods) are available in the kitchen on the first floor for your use. There is space reserved for any foods you want to bring and store. The kitchen and fridge is stocked with some easy to prepare foods suitable for breakfast, to which you are welcome. We have filtered water available if you desire something other than tap water.
Please note: PLEASE READ SEVERAL REVIEWS WHEN EVALUATING OUR HOME AS A PLACE TO STAY. Here's why: ONLY ONE review, out of 19, mentioned a pet odor. However, there was NO PET ODOR and this was verified. Here is what happened. When we became aware that part of Hurricane Matthew would hit our area, we contacted our guests to alert them of the potential impact of a saturated ground and intense rain on the septic system (concern for sluggish sink and tub draining and need to restrict water use) as well as the risk of trees falling onto the house. We offered them the option of cancelling, even up to a few hours before they were to arrive -- with full refund. They took some time to consider everything, and then chose to come on anyway to attend a planned event. They expressed they enjoyed their stay, including sitting on the back porch and watching the storm until 4:00 a.m.! In their review only two of the three guests stated they noted a pet odor in the dining room area. Three of the five of us in the home at the time did not notice one. We had never had a complaint about this before and were dismayed that this had occurred. Having a clean, comfortable, and pleasant place for our guests is extremely important to us as hosts! We wrote an IMMEDIATE response (due to airbnb time constraints --sorry for the typos -- can't edit a "response"!) and, as we promised, investigated thoroughly. 10 people came to the house the following Tuesday, (before the guest review was written). They did not mention anything. No signs of pet stains could be found anywhere. Since none of the "hurricane" guests mentioned anything DURING their stay, we could not investigate while they were here. We told the airbnb guest who stayed soon after the hurricane about the issue. This guest happened to be environmental engineer and OSHA inspector! We asked him to let us know if he noticed any odor issues. He said everything was fine. We have now come to to conclusion, based on information provided by experienced contractors, that if any odor was detected, it was due to the effect of Hurricane Matthew on the septic system. When the ground is super-saturated with water and additional heavy rain continues (as with hurricanes) it is possible for the system become stressed and an odor to occur from the drain closest to the outside underground tank. In this case, this would be the kitchen/dining area. Again, NO ONE else has noticed any unpleasant odor before or since the hurricane passed. Since we do not have hurricanes very often, we do not expect another issue like this. Again, please read several reviews to get an idea of what to expect if you choose to be a guest in hour home. Thank you!
Guests are invited to enjoy the screened-in back porch for eating, rocking, relaxing, or taking a nap in the hammock. A ceiling fan helps to keep the breezes going in warm weather.
An iron and ironing board is located in the closet in one of the bedrooms. A fan is located in each of the upstairs closets for those who enjoy the sound and feel of an electric fan while sleeping. A sound machine is in each bedroom for those who prefer white noise for sleeping at night or when taking a nap.
We utilize a wood stove/fireplace quite a lot in the winter because of the special warmth it produces. However, central heat and air helps keep the temperature comfortable. Also, there is an ancillary heater available if you desire a VERY warm room in the winter.
Children 6 and over are welcome, but need to be supervised because we have a small dog and have a waterfront home. Children under six will be considered on a request by re...

Located 10 to 15 minutes from historic Smithfield, and conveniently located to places of interest from Williamsburg to Virginia Beach, our home is tucked away in a wooded area, with some water and wildlife behind the house. The neighborhood is a place in which it is enjoyable to walk, bike, or run. There are water and marsh views to take in as you explore. People love to kayak close by. We don't have a kayak, but do have a dock to put one in. Guest access to a nearby gym (ANYTIME Fitness --5 minutes away, open 24 hours) is available for $10 per day per person, and is, of course, free if you are a member. YMCA members can use a pool and gym located about 10 minutes away, just across the James River Bridge. Even though we live in a small community, it offers several places to eat. In addition to fast food places, close by is one of the best Japanese restaurants and also one of the best barbecue places in Hampton Roads. A Mexican restaurant, a new steak and seafood restaurant, two primarily seafood restaurants (right ON the James River and one on Bennett's Creek), regular and emergency medical facilities, grocery store, and gas stations are about 5 to 10 minutes away. More shopping and restaurants are located within a 15 minute drive.
There is no public transportation nearby, so you will need a car. The neighborhood is located just off Hwy 17, a major corridor which connects to I64 and I664 directly. Drives to most area tourist attractions, military bases, and universities, etc. are pretty straightforward and not too complicated. Visit historic Smithfield one day (15 minutes away), Colonial Williamsburg another (45 - 50 minutes away), Busch Gardens the next (40 minutes), Norfolk Botanical Gardens the next (40 minutes), and then the Norfolk Zoo (40 minutes) There are enough attractions to keep on going. Don't forget to enjoy some time in the sun at the ocean front of Virginia Beach (55 minutes) , Buckroe Beach on the Chesapeake Bay (30 minutes), or Huntington Beach (less than 10 minutes away on the James River) just across the James River Bridge from Carrollton . We are less than 10 minutes from the shipyard in Newport News, 20 minutes from Langley A(SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN), about 20 to 25 minutes to Norfolk Naval Base, 25 minutes to Christopher Newport University and the Ferguson Center for the Arts, the Marine Museum, and the Living Museum as well as other attractions. Nauticus, Chrysler Hall and Museum of Art, plus the McArthur Memorial are located about 35 minutes away in Norfolk. You can take I-64 or Hwy. 60 to Williamsburg and Busch Gardens (a 40 - 45 minute drive) or drive up Hwy 10 past Smithfield and take the James River Ferry over to Jamestown to see the Jamestown Settlement and then on in to Williamsburg.
We request that you tell us something about yourself, the reason for your trip, and if you are not coming alone, who will be with you, when you make your inquiry. If any children are in your party, please give their ages. Only the members in your party you let us know about when you inquire or request to book will be able to stay. When you book, if you would like a list of area attractions, from Williamsburg to Virginia Beach -- including their web sites -- so you can plan your trip better, let me know and I'll send it via email. The list starts with Smithfield, full of early American history, delightful shops, and great places to eat, just a few minutes away.

Sandy and Lee were incredible hosts. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home in their lovely house. Both are extremely generous and warm. Each morning Sandy made a delicious breakfast which was so nice to eat on their beautiful porch. The bedroom is extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend staying with them! I would surely be glad to go back.

AlexandraJune 2016

We had to cancel our reservation last minute due to a tropical storm, so this review is based on our communications. Sandy was so helpful from the start. She helped me to figure out how far from the concert we were and gave us advantage directions to get to the concert and out of the region for the next leg of our trip. She checked in on the status of the concert we were going to and contacted us as so as she got word it was postponed. She was the reason we stayed where we were and altered our plans before having driven all the way to here area to find out and be in the middle of a storm. She worked with me to cancel the reservation with Airbnb. She was so gracious and understanding. I so appreciate how she went above and beyond. I can't wait to get back down that way, so I can finally stay with here and meet her in person!

LisaSeptember 2016

Sandy and Lee are the perfect hosts--super responsive, considerate, friendly, and helpful. I had a fantastic stay at their beautiful home. Everything was immaculately clean. I needed a place to spend the night since I had to get an early start for work the next day, and my only regret was not staying longer to enjoy my surroundings more. I loved everything about the place: the very comfortable beds, the lovely screened-in porch overlooking the backyard, and the tasty breakfast offerings. The location is easy to reach by car, but far enough that there is no traffic noise to disturb the peaceful environment. I spotted huge butterflies feeding on the flowers out back, and a bright green frog near the front door the morning I departed. My favorite thing was definitely Tessie, Sandy and Lee's adorable and very sweet little dog. She is so well-behaved and if you're not a dog lover, she's sure to give you plenty of space like the polite pooch she is. If you like dogs, she'll definitely win you over with snuggles and a happy tail wag! I cannot recommend staying with Sandy and Lee enough. I hope I have an opportunity to visit the area again one day and really take things in!

VivianSeptember 2016

A great experience! Everything I would have expected and more. I definitely recommend this destination and look forward to a return visit in the near future.

TomOctober 2016

We are new to AirBNB and if all your Host are as wonderful, kind and attentive as Sandy and Lee were.. then the hotel business will surly be out of business. Several of my friends questioned us.. "How can you stay in a stranger's home?"... The answer was simple and clear.. "it's like staying with Family you haven't meet yet." We look forward to our return trip... Same time next year!

RobinAugust 2016

Sandy, Lee, and Tessie (their rat terrier) did an awesome job making me feel so welcomed and at home! Upon arrival Sandy gave me a tour of the house with detailed explanations of all of the amenities. Which include internet, tv, a work room, and access to anything in the kitchen! Sandy asked about my food preferences before I arrived and she had plenty of fruit, nuts and other plant-based foods ready to go! I was even able to pick fresh kale from the garden for my morning smoothies! Each morning before I went to work Sandy set out breakfast options with a "have a good day" note. When you start your day like that you have no choice but to have a good day! The neighborhood they live in is cute, quiet, and safe. Each morning I went for a run. Lee had told me that people will wave as they drive by and he was one hundred percent correct, everyone was friendly! I just can't emphasize enough how much I enjoyed staying with them. Thank you so much for everything! The quality time, the food, and the house were all amazing. I cannot wait to go back!

MelanaMay 2016

What a great stay! We couldn't have asked for a better experience than staying here. The areas we were given were very roomy, clean and had all the right touches. They went out of their way to make sure we felt at home during our short stay. Would definitely stay there again.

DarrellAugust 2016

Sandy and her family are very welcoming. I was nervous about sharing a space with people I didn't know but we instantly felt at ease after meeting them. Their house is adorable and it was very nice to have the whole upstairs to relax in. Breakfast is definitely the highlight! Awesome options are clearly marked for you to prepare for yourself. Quality ingredients of fresh fruit, eggs, oatmeal etc are readily available as well as many dairy free options which I appreciated! Enjoyed breakfast on their screened in porch overlooking the water. Tessie is a delight and added to my overall experience! Very true to pictures and description.

Thanks for the great stay in your home Grace! Although we weren't able to meet, your sister Alice was a perfet hostess! She was very concerned that my stay was comfortable, and I had everything I needed. What a blessing she is! The room is lovely and the bed was oh so comfortable! Thanks again for the welcome experience!

Le AnneMay 2016

My husband and I had the most wonderful time at Grace's home away from home. It was exactly as pictured but what you don't get in the photos is how much like home you'll really feel. Grace gave us such a warm greeting when we arrived and was so excited to do anything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. I absolutely adored the deliciously plush white towels that she gave us. Everything was so cozy! At the end of the day, we enjoyed a relaxing evening of sitting in her beautifully decorated living room talking and watching TV. In the morning, she made a quiche for breakfast (since she wasn't working the next day) in addition to her normal continental menu of fruit, vegetables, breads, yogurt juice, coffee, etc. I have to say that was the BEST quiche I've ever tasted. Hands down. Our bed was warm and cozy with extra blankets in case we got cold. The neighborhood was really nice and quiet but not too out of the way from Norfolk, Virginia Beach and the rest of Hampton Roads. Most of all, our host was a total gem! We definitely plan on staying with Grace the next time we're in the area.

Nice neighborhood and nice clean home

LadyAugust 2016

Grace was an excellent hostess!!! Her home was very welcoming and comfortable. My husband and I felt like we were family!!!

LisaJuly 2016

We absolutely LOVED staying at Grace's! She is such a warm, friendly and pleasant person to have around! My friends and I were on a roadtrip and arrived at Grace's beautiful home pretty late at night, and she stayed up until she welcomed us very warmly- we were so touched by that. Her house is situated in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, which is great because it is close enough to Virginia Beach but also far enough from all the noise. The drive to her place from Virginia Beach was also very pretty and enjoyable, and the house is very easy to locate. The rooms were AWESOME- super clean, tidy and very comfortable, and she was kind enough to provide us with clean towels and some toiletries. The bathroom was also spotless which was really nice. You really feel right at home. Next morning, Grace prepared a great breakfast for us and we chatted the morning away until we realized we had to get going! Grace was an great host, and now our new friend :) Highly recommend her house!

HibaSeptember 2015

Grace's home was absolutely one of the best experiences we've had. Leaving Grace's home was almost emotional, like leaving family. Grace was absolutely nurturing, breakfast was great, home was very clean and the list goes on. A real treat. I'd stay here any time I'm in VA.

JasmineMay 2016

Very comfortable stay in a nice, clean, spacious home in a very safe, quiet neighborhood. The breakfast was awesome! I was welcomed by the host's sister who took great care of me.

HarmanjitJune 2016

Although we had a late arrival, Grace made sure we arrived safe and sound. Her home is just like the pictures, and her love for Kenya is reflected in her decor. She is gracious and made sure we felt at home.

★★Our home is ran JAPANESE STYLE:
So the removal of street shoes is necessary, once stepping inside. House-shoes are okay.
★(NOTE: Parents with children that are use to hyperactivity in the home, this listing may not suit you. We are parents, so we understand.)
★★Weekly rentals allows us not to ask guests for additional upfront costs such as a Off-Site Security Deposit. To avoid a deposit you can reserve each week separately. Any reservation past 7 days requires a "Off-Site Security Deposit" equal to the amount of the rental.
****Copied from "AIRBnB Policy****:
Can a security deposit be handled off-site?"
Hosts can ask their guests for an off-site security deposit, provided this is made clear before the reservation is booked. When a security deposit is handled outside of Airbnb, the host must clearly display this in the listing's description, house rules, or message thread with a guest before the reservation has been booked.
If you would like to have the house to yourself, we require a Off-Site Security Deposit totaling same amount of the cost of the total rental, which will be refunded with no claims made and immediately after Keys are transferred back to the Host.
I hope this helps information helps. When i first joined Airbnb it was kind of confusing to me as well. Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.

The accommodations were as advertised. We have enjoyed an upgrade to the master suite. The location is convenient to everything. We plan to extend our stay. We would have no problem recommending to friends and family.
